Theodore Roosevelt
The poorest way to face life is to face it with a sneer.
Theodore Roosevelt
More and more, as it becomes necessary to preserve the game, let us hope that the camera will largely supplant the rifle.
Theodore Roosevelt
We cannot afford to differ on the question of honesty if we expect our republic permanently to endure. Honesty is not so much a credit as an absolute prerequisite to efficient service to the public. Unless a man is honest, we have no right to keep him in public life it matters not how brilliant his capacity.
Theodore Roosevelt
Honesty first then courage then brains - and all are indispensable.
Theodore Roosevelt
Thank God for the iron in the blood of our fathers

Theodore Roosevelt
The vice of envy is not only a dangerous, but a mean vice for it is always a confession of inferiority. It may promote conduct which will be fruitful of wrong to others, and it must cause misery to the man who feels it.
Theodore Roosevelt
The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena..who errs, who comes short again and again but who does actually strive to do the deeds who spends himself in a worthy cause.
Theodore Roosevelt
It is the people, and not the judges, who are entitled to say what their constitution means, for the constitution is theirs, it belongs to them and not to their servants in office—any other theory is incompatible with the foundation principles of our government.
Theodore Roosevelt
Great corporations exist only because they are created and safeguarded by our institutions and it is therefore our right and duty to see that they work in harmony with these institutions.
Theodore Roosevelt
The wise and honorable and Christian thing to do is to treat each black man and each white man (or any person) on his merits as a man, giving him no more and no less than he is worthy to have.
Theodore Roosevelt
Rhetoric is a poor substitute for action.
Theodore Roosevelt
I am an American free born and free bred, where I acknowledge no man as my superior, except for his own worth, or as my inferior, except for his own demerit.
Theodore Roosevelt
When I say I believe in a square deal i do not mean to give every man the best hand. If the cards do not come to any man, or if they do come, and he has not got the power to play them, that is his affair. All I mean is that there shall be no crookedness in the dealing.
Theodore Roosevelt
Freedom is not a gift which can be enjoyed save by those shown themselves worthy of it.
Theodore Roosevelt
